Schools should not just be offering what they call "nutrious drinks" There is a time in a child's life that they need to start making their own desitions. America was built on freedom. A big part of america is the freedom to do what we want, and i think we should be privlaged those rights in school as well. I understand why you would restrain certain things from elementary school students, but we are in middle school now. Kid in middle school want to be treated with some sort of respect. Having food restrictions doesn't make us feel like the almost grown kids we are. Also, i believe failing can be good for you. kid need to face the consequeces of their eating habits in order to learn. Parents have told their kids the consequences of eating …show more content…
They will learn what they must do next time. I am confused as to why the school board considers fruit juice as heathy. Fruit juice is simply all the natural sugars being squeezed out of the fruit. There is a very small amount of nutrience if any, and studys have shown fruit juice is horrible for your teeth. I personally think if schools wanted to be heathy they would just sell water and milk as the drink choice. Water, supports your whole body . It is essential to even your existance! Milk, is good for your bones, and is natually made, not processed. fruit juice? Nothing nutrious about it. As most adults know, kids are not interested in heathy drinks. If the school sold drinks of the kids request, the school's income would be through the roof. The lunch lady's would be happier and more at ease, the kis would be more enjoyable, and most of all it would benifit the school tremendously. With all the money all the money the school would have coming in from the drinks they could buy higher quality food as well. the kids would be buying more food from the school, and with all the money coming in the school could pay for remodeling, more supplys for teachers, nicer equittment, ect. We should not just have heathy drinks in our school
In conclusion, school stores and vending machines shouldn’t be banned. Schools can make the most money by having those. Many schools don’t have any other options that would raise more money, and depend on school stores to run school functions. Students have more options if they have a school store. Schools stores and vending machines shouldn’t be banned. Call the FDA and other government organizations that are concerned about health, and spread the word.
Caffeinate drinks and energy drinks are very common on amongst adolescents, and the consumption of alcohol is also a regular occurrence among adolescents (Rohsenow et. Al, 2014). At that age, they may consume caffeine or energy drinks to wake themselves up or stay up late when working on homework assignments. Which at times can be helpful when working on multiple assignments. When a person consumes a certain amount of alcohol, he or she begins to feel drowsy/tired. There is nothing wrong with having a drink on occasions, especially if you drink responsibly. Recently people have begun to mix caffeine with alcohol, resulting in Alcoholic Energy Drinks. People buy and consume these drinks to combat the drowsiness that comes with drinking, so if he or she is out partying, it won’t interrupt his or her drinking and the can consume more alcohol because they will not feel as tired as quickly as the normally would. Alcoholic Energy Drinks have been a trend in recent years, and this is especially true among college and high school students (Kponee, Siegel, & Jernigan, 2014). Do Alcoholic Energy Drinks represent responsible drinking? Should companies mix caffeine and alcohol and sell it in stores? To go even further, should the drinks be legal in the United States? Alcoholic Energy Drinks are harmful because they affect the person’s ability to judge his or her level of intoxication, it also influences people to drink more than he or she should because he or she feels less intoxicated, and because of those reasons, people who consume Alcoholic Energy Drinks are more likely to drive while intoxicated, among other dangerous risk-taking behaviors (Kponee, Siegel, & Jernigan, 2014). Because of the adverse effects, Alcoholic Energy Drinks should...
Businesses should have the right to ban teenagers because they’re causing a decrease in profits during school months. Upon the realization that the profit from the wealthier, faithful customers (mostly business people) was declining, it was discovered that customers “were staying away from Munchy’s due to the havoc high school students cause everyday at lunchtime” (Source
Lately there’s been alot of controversy surrounding energy drink. Why are teens drinking them? Why are they considered unhealthy? What are the bad effects? Today, i’m going to tell you. Energy drinks have been around since the 80s, when the first one was released. The amount of drinks sold only begins to grow, with a majority being purchased by teens. Energy drinks are unhealthy because of the high caffeine levels and can cause addiction to caffeine. Teens are drinking them because they want what what is promised, energy.
Townsend, Nick, Simon Murphy, and Laurence Moore. "The More Schools Do To Promote Healthy Eating, The Healthier The Dietary Choices By Students." Journal Of Epidemiology & Community Health 65.10 (2011): 889-895. Academic Search Complete. Web. 14 Feb. 2014.
There are programs now that educate people under the age of 21 about alcohol. These programs are being implemented in colleges around the country, and are about the choices of using alcohol. "At the University of Virginia they are taking a more of an old-fashioned approach to educating college students about alcohol use. They are using two, two-and-a-half hour courses in class rooms called "Choices". They are boasting high results from this program a total of 75 percent of participants said they planned to reduce how much they drink in the future, while 85 percent indicated they had spoken to a friend." (Altamirano). If these programs have high success rates, I think these programs should be put in high schools as well.
...hey deem right for them. In the process of this solution, health classes should focus more on the benefits of eating a moderate portion of fatty and sugary foods with healthy options. I strongly believe and support the idea that giving teens and kids the facts about there foods and lots of options creates a generation filled with adults that can act and think for themselves while taking responsibility for there actions.
The teens live in an environment where drinking alcohol is the same as drinking water. They are allowed to drink as much as they would like, as long as they do not embarrass their parents. Many of the teens get drunk for the first time in the eighth grade. That is seven years before they legally should even have their first sip. “Rufus kept the beer flowing out of keg in the bathtub, getting many drunk for the first time” (Ziegesar). Also many of them come into school with horrible hangovers. This shows that these kids are way too young to be getting drunk, because they do not know how to handle themselves properly. Coming to school with a hangover can affect how they learn and keep them from getting the best education possible. This also illustrates how drinking seems so much fun for the kids, but it conveniently leaves out the consequences of this action. Furthermore, irresponsible teens do not think ahead for their future. They do not consider the health risks involved, such as alcoholism and liver
Are you Crazy? There should be more fruits,and vegetables, and less of those bagged snacks. They are not health, and kids are not getting enough nutritios they need to substan a healthy life style. By showing this generation how to eat healthy than they can show the future generation how to do the same. Soda's,and sugary drinks will be replaced with water or with a drink that has a lot less sugar in it.
so why can’t you do this one adult thing? Other countries have a lower drinking age and they have taught the kids how to drink responsibly. Young adults from 18 to 20 and even lower age already drink illegally so we should make it legal for them to drink and teach them the responsible way to. If
We know about the significance of a healthy way of life, adjusted eating regimen, and well-balanced diet. Still, we are frequently unaware of the dangers that are forced by the food we daily ingest. In particular, there are some foods which are viewed as healthy however is not why they seemed to be, as they cause various extreme health issues, including cancer. And so, we have to take in a great deal about our foods in order to protect our wellbeing. From now on, the accompanying 10 foods show the greatest danger that we consistently ingest and should be avoided whenever possible.
According to an article called Children Are Overexposed to Alcohol Advertising it states,“Spending in magazines peaked at $361 million in 2004 but fell to $331 million in 2006. Youth, young adult and adult exposure to this advertising fell by 50 percent, 33 percent and 28 percent respectively over the six-year period.” These companies are spending millions of dollars to advertise these alcohol products where underaged youth can see them. If these companies did not portray it as a fun and easy thing to do than it wouldn't be such a huge issue. If alcohol companies aren't trying to target youth then they wouldn't even try to advertise it near schools.
I hope that you have milk because I sure do, I have got more than enough. Therefore, I so agree with the schools offering these nutritious milk, water, and natural fruit juices. First, nutrients, in order to be healthy we have to keep nutrients in our body’s. Second, some kids are really hyper active and are not able to sit still to save their lives. So without all the sugar from the sodas and candy bars it would help with the kids that are hyper active.
Though Texas schools will profit from this, due to the high budget cuts that has been made throughout the country, and save money to other things, such as textbooks or new computers, it should not jeopardize the children’s health to that cost. There are other ways of saving money and still keep inconsideration of the children’s health. As previously stated, schools have turned to the local food suppliers in the United Kingdom for healthier options, while saving money by doing so.
Schools throughout the US have banned the sale of soft drinks on their premises. ii. The. Economic: People can afford to buy more soft drinks under current economic situation. Recessions do not seem to affect sales of CSD.
